   I didn't mean to say no matter what they did   
    One can draw a map and remove all people who smoke and take drugs and are   
   overly obese and you would still see the states that get more green house   
   gas and people who reside near pollution o get sick more and are in much   
   worse respiratory illness at least at most more ill in a vast array of   
   different illnesses. When they test like that, let me know. Do you kno Karen   
   I have a link where it say pollution is one of the biggest killers of man on   
   the planet?This is also cause of concern since we seldom ever test people   
   correlated to pollution levels.especially in the US.
